Anthony was in Cape Town and interviewed Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey and Nikolaj Arcel. As well as talked to Uncle Stevie on the phone. Anthony shares some insights into his background with Sai King as well as some insights into writing these stories and even gives us a few small nuggets that may not have made it into the articles.

Tadd and Peter continue on the journey to the Dark Tower as they follow Roland through the last of his flashback to Gallows Hill, then back to the present as he and Jake lay eyes on The Man in Black for the first time in gods knows how long. Then we begin the Oracle.
